I retrurned home Wed. afternoon after having RNY surgery Tues. morning.  Yesterday, I saw small traces of blood when I went to the restroom.  (not in my urine)  As time progressed the blood has changed in color bright, dark, light pink.  I did call my surgeon he told me that it was normal and I should not stress over it.  I was just wondering if anyone of you had experienced this. 
Thanks!!!

My aunt had this for a week right after her RNY - it cleared up as the doctor predicted.

Like your doc said, it's fine.  If it turns bright red and is heavy like a period call him back cuz that indicated fresh NEW bleeding.
